Hello World

building-in-public

I’m Camil, a senior full-stack engineer based in Timisoara, Romania. I’ve spent years building software for companies, and on the side I build my own stuff. Most of what I learn and make stays buried in private repos or in my head. This site is me trying to change that.

The old site

My previous portfolio was generated by Gitfolio. It dumped all my GitHub repos on a single page. No structure, no personality, zero configurability. I had to rework it from scratch.

The new site

I rebuilt everything from scratch with Astro. Markdown blog posts, (open source) project pages, and dedicated pages for my products.

I’m building a few products. SoundScrub removes unwanted audio from videos using AI, launching soon. jobAIssistant keeps your job applications organized so you know where you applied, what stage you’re in, and what recruiters emailed you about three weeks ago. MPM helps you manage and search your YouTube playlists, detect deleted songs, and find duplicates.

I also build smaller tools that I put online for free. A dividend growth investing screener, an ETF accumulating vs distributing calculator for comparing tax scenarios, and an eye training app because I stare at screens too much. I’m into personal finance and investing as much as I’m into building products.

What I’ll write about

Frontend and backend patterns, deployment setups, side project decisions, stuff that went wrong and how I fixed it. Probably some thoughts on investing or health as a developer too.

I’ll post when I have something worth sharing.
